Book "Sevdah" by Damir Imamović

 "Sevdah" by Damir Imamović is the first book about sevdah that brings together musical, poetic, cultural, historical and popular tendencies in the development of this genre, spanning three centuries of its documented past.

This is, at the same time, the first book about sevdah written by a distinguished performer and author of sevdalinkas. It also shows to what extent its author's interventions in sevdah are based on his in-depth knowledge of history and aesthetics of this extraordinary art form.

"Sevdah" Damira Imamovića je  prva knjiga o sevdahu koja na jednom mjestu sažima muzičke, poetske, kulturno-historijske i popularne tendencije u razvoju ovog muzičkog žanra kroz tri stoljeća njegove dokumentirane prošlosti. Ovo je i prva knjiga o sevdahu napisana rukom uglednog izvođača i autora sevdalinki. Ona pokazuje koliko su Imamovićeve intervencije u sevdahu bazirane na dubinskom poznavanju historije i estetike ove umjetnosti.
